In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran are here to talk about a frustrating 2 points dropped at Crystal Palace. They then discuss the regeneration of Old Trafford. Finally, Nik is joined by special guest Michael Statham from the Football Oranje podcast - who gives us a more in depth look at our EL opposition FC Twente, and then runs through the (many) Dutch connections currently at United.
I'll take Arsenal, please
I'll take Arsenal, please
Great choice. Completely forgot about them.
Wenger doesn't spend enough money. I'll spend too much.
I'll take Arsenal, please
Ok, you might have to add me. I can't find anyone on this. only lets me search friends.
On Soccer Manager? I have no idea how. Or is it facebook?
Who's the Chelsea manager?
Barney.
If someone takes Atletico, please semd back Courtois.
Yeah, ok, 1 sec.
Got rid of Arsenal and took over as AC Milan. I've money to burn!
Slight enhancement of RS' lineup photoshop thingy on other page:
That looks fricking sweet Damien. Will that be the one that appears on twitter next season for the lineups?
feck off 2MM.
Yup, though obviously without the MUTV logo. Huge thanks to @RedSky for allowing me to use it and giving tonnes of advice for little improvements.
no worries
@Hectic get in this.
Okay
Congrats, you're slighter higher in points despite playing double the games.
no worries
Cabaye + Menez/Pastore for Koke?
Slightly? It's a fair bit higher.
League finishes:
Under Zarlak:
S1: 3rd (63 pts)
S2: 3rd (67 pts)
Under Damien:
S3: 2nd (75 pts)
S4: 1st (71 pts)
S5: 3rd (68 pts)
Some of your signings:
Cambiasso (31/94) (went down to 91 just over a year later)
Villa (30/95) (went down to 93 just over a year later)
Sneijder (27/95) (went down to 92 just over a year later)
Some of my signings:
Bale (23/93) (up to 94 a year later)
Ronaldo (28/98) (still going strong nearly a year later)
Gotze (20/91) (up to 93 over a year later)
And you're too scared to rejoin original league (or even league mk2 which is in its first season)
So what you're saying is, with the solid foundation that I built you went from 3rd to 2nd to 1st.
'Some of your signings' forgets to list Messi, Fabregas, Zlatan but conveniently lists Ronaldo under his own.
Also, wasn't it you that technically finished the 2nd season in 3rd? I left halfway through. You're the one that was in charge at the end of that season.
I didn't even know that the league was rebooted a month ago until RS just told me on Skype. The muppet season is over now so no point in picking up some dregs when everyone else has picked the squad apart. Reboot it now and I'll join sure.

You never signed Fabregas. As for Ibra, fair point. Forgot about him as he had long gone when I took over.
No.
Yes I did. I swapped him for Ibra or the other way around.
Oh that was it. You left him out anyway. You can't leave out the best players I signed listing only my worst, and compare them alongside your best signings.
First XI on Feb 16 2013 (3 months after I took over):
Players you signed in Red, players I signed in Blue and players already at the club in Black.
First XI in September 2013 (season I won the league):

I got 6m and pierre aubameyang for selling El Shaarawy. Priceless.
So what you're saying is that with Messi, Ronaldo, Bale and Gotze you've won 1 title.
Please.
Sure.
I got 6m and pierre aubameyang for selling El Shaarawy. Priceless.
Decent deal that. I got a 21 year old 90 rated 17m player on 44k wages for a 24 year old 90 rated 11m player on 44k wages.
Agreed. I got 6m too. Fair deal for me I'd say. We'll see in a few months how it suited us both.
With Messi, Ibrahimovic, Villa and de Rossi you couldn't finish above 3rd and got a paltry 67 points at most.
I've also won the League Shield and Community Shield in addition to the title.
Shaarawy has been out for most of the season though.
But I finished 3rd and only played 1.5 seasons. You played 3.5 seasons and you've finished also 3rd (with a team you profess to be better than mine) and 2nd, winning only once.
You have the 2 best players in the world and finished in the same spot I did, with 1 point more.
He's back now, and I'm confident that over time he'll be the better player.
My worst points tally is better than your best, and you played more like 1.75 seasons. I was manager for just the last few games of season 2.
The league is also more competitive than when you was in it - @RedSky is currently soaring high and on course to finish with a better points haul than you did.
